All about the Costa Dorada

Located in the Province of Tarragona and stretching all the way between the towns of Cunit and Alcanar, the Costa Dorada is one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. The Costa Dorada includes notable destinations such as Salou, Cambrils, and L’Ampolla, making it a top holiday destination in Spain.

The Golden Coast

‘Costa Dorada’ translates as ‘Golden Coast’ because the area is well known for its expanse of golden sands. There are heaps of great beaches along the Costa Dorada, including Cunit Beach, Tarragona Beach, and La Pineda Beach, and many people book a Costa Dorada vacation rental overlooking the shores. The region of L’Ametlla de Mar is even commonly referred to by its nickname — ‘La Cala’, or ‘The Beach’.

If you’ve enjoyed a holiday in Barcelona in the past, then you’ll love Tarragona. Although a little quieter than Barcelona, there’s still a busy, bustling city atmosphere here with shops, bars, and activities.

Salou

Salou is home to one of Europe’s most famous theme parks: Port Aventura (and now Ferrari Land, too!). If you’re travelling to Spain with kids, then a Salou villa on the Costa Dorada is the perfect choice.
